The Club at Carlton Woods is always busy this time of year with parties, wine dinners, golf tournaments and amazing galas. A few weeks ago they had a spectacular western weekend as a kick off to their annual member guest gala. So here is a sneak peak at the weeks earlier events.
Western themes can vary from bandannas and burlap to wild sun flowers and wheat grass. It just depends of what type of...

... is a phrase that many happy couples are uttering this month! The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center has a beautiful deck overlooking the golf course and a lake with a fountain that has it's own gazebo tucked away among the tall pine trees.

This couple, with their white and purple color scheme chose...

With the end of August in sight the vibrant fall colors are in full swing. Every store is now sporting fall decor {and some even have Christmas... yikes!} but at the shop we can't get enough of the rich colors of fall.

 There is nothing quite as fun and vibrant contrast in color when working with flowers. One of my favorites (as is probably very evident) is black, white and green! We had a blast creating these beautiful pieces for The Club at Carlton Woods' New Years Eve party.
 These beautiful buffet pieces were truly striking. With strong line and movement they were the focal pieces of the room.
There were 3...

We created a forest of birch trees accented by a canopy of twinkle lights and hanging votive candles. Each centerpiece was filled with...

These gorgeous centerpieces were made for a gentlemen's golf team dinner at The Club at Carlton Woods. Every now and then it's nice to change your decor up a bit.
